Ahhh… fall is in the air. Even though Florida’s weather doesn’t transition to autumn the way it does throughout most of the country, Floridians can still sense that fall is on its way. And what better way to welcome fall than by giving your home a seasonal refresh?

Fortunately, transitioning your home from summer to fall doesn’t have to take a lot of work or money. You’ll “fall” in love with these seven chic and inexpensive decorating ideas.

“Leaf” a Good First Impression

The front door is the first place guests see when they visit, so it’s important to “leaf” a good first impression. Show off your fall spirit by hanging a festive wreath or floral arrangement on your front door.

Warm It Up

Swap out bright, summery shades with warm, earthy tones like red, orange, brown and gold. From textiles to home accents, incorporating warm hues is a simple way to give your home that autumnal look we know and love.

This Season’s All About Faux Fur, Chunky Knits and Flannel

There’s nothing better than curling up with a soft, cozy blanket and your favorite book on a brisk fall morning. Whether you prefer faux fur, oversized knit or flannel – or all three – a cozy blanket is the perfect accessory to drape across the couch or bed this season.

Spice It Up

Who doesn’t love the autumnal aroma of pumpkin spice and apple cider? Fill your home with your favorite fall scents by brewing your own stovetop potpourri. Check out this savory stovetop potpourri recipe by How Sweet It is.

Bring the Outside In

From small branches and leaves to pinecones and berries, your backyard is the perfect place to “shop” for fall home décor. Even better? It’s absolutely free! All it takes is a little imagination and creativity to transform ordinary outdoor objects into unique and elegant decorations.
